Over 50 years, our university’s story has also been our community’s story. Our community, your university exhibition is an opportunity to discover the remarkable efforts of visionary leaders, notable graduates and generous community members to create a world-class university of our own. Over 40 lineal metres of archival images and footage reveals the University of Newcastle’s first 50 years, and an interactive Futures Wall calls on visitors to share their vision for the next 50 years.

Kaleidoscope of Indian Cities – In India there are multiple interconnected lives that can be observed at any given time in its myriad cities. These lives, through their intersections and juxtaposition, generate multiple images that may seem contrary. In the face of daunting complexity and palimpsest of histories we have sought to steer away from constructing compelling classifications or attempts to fix the essential character of Indian Cities.

This exhibition takes a nonlinear approach and presents Indian cities with their irreducible differences that need to be understood in their own terms, but still provide invisible connections whether they are cultural, aesthetic or existential, as observed and experienced by four individuals.

Neel Raga explores Indian aesthetics and use of colour in the Indian built environment through photographic images of a particular courtyard house in the city of Jodhpur, within the Indian state of Rajasthan. Through the concept of ‘raga’ and its associated concept ‘rasa’ it records the evocation of atmospheres during night and day. ‘Neel’ is indexical of the temporal and cultural forces at work in Indian society that reflects and refracts transmutation in its symbolical meaning.

Event Details

In this exhibition the facades of ten famous houses – five Modern and five Post-Modern – are revisited using alternative representational strategies. Each new strategy seeks to uncover or reveal the underlying tensions or elisions in the work, using new colours, textures and images to question each architect’s approach. Through the use of both serious and ironic representational approaches, these ten famous buildings are reimagined in a more political, cultural and subversive manner. Featuring the work of Ian Wyn Owen, Michael J Ostwald and Nicholas Charles Foulcher.

Join the local biotech and medical technology sectors for a BioBriefing and networking event hosted by Newcastle Innovation.

As the University of Newcastle’s technology transfer arm, Newcastle Innovation has an extensive and successful track record in translating ground-breaking scientific discovery into tangible outcomes benefiting the health and welfare of the broader community.

The BioBriefing (5- 6pm) will highlight two flagship research programs in the immunology (Viralytics) and fertility disciplines (NuSep), an insight into the work of an early career Researcher and a feature about a program supporting the next generation of innovators – the Three Minute Thesis competition.

The BioBriefing will be followed by a BioBeers and Bubbles (6-8pm) networking function. BioBeers and Bubbles brings together AusBiotech members and non-members in the life sciences, therapeutics, medical technology (devices and diagnostics), food and agriculture biotechnology sectors. Share ideas, build relationships and make new contacts in an informal setting.
